the ongoing fury of a president mohamed morsi is sweeping new powers in egypt claims its first lives just as the leaders of position to weaken these are live pictures from tahrir square in cairo. separatism hold sway in spain which just regional catalonia pro independence parties a majority of parliamentary seats possibly paving the way for a referendum. releases a new book urging internet users around the world to stand up against slave one government.
12:01 pm
on their online life from a new center here in moscow this is. egypt's president is making steps towards a compromise and has agreed to meet senior judges outraged at the seizure of power which has made his decisions untouchable it comes as the first blood in clashes over mohamed morsi as controversial decrees spilled a teenage supporter of the muslim brotherhood which stands behind the president has been killed in violent protests another man died overnight after being critically injured in fighting near tahrir square last week thousands of taking to the streets for his funeral procession in downtown cairo true has been following events. very heavy handed tactics from the police we see that excessive use of tear gas and you see the use of birdshot when it should be given quite severe injuries to face the stomach to pools of life i mean from the police and this is really not showing any sign of stopping anytime soon we mind it caches happening literally just behind
12:02 pm
me on tahrir square just sit in which is called by opposition forces continues they say they will not leave until morsi backs down from his. contentious confirmation that duration bush awards him sweeping powers including powers over the judiciary and makes all his declarations in decreased immune to appeal by anybody or by any means definitely this is unprecedented in terms of a unification of the liberal leftist forces the scene some of the former presidential candidates like coming to but he commented about today coming together and our chief of forming a coalition to save egypt they say so we're really seeing quite as strong i mean from the opposition forces to more of course we'll see even more protests by the opposition forces who are planning a million man marches period today really unifying in addition we had quite dramatic scenes of the journalists indicate yesterday i met a generalist who are rising up against they said decoration which they see to be oppressive edition the judiciary as well to have staged
12:03 pm
a possible strike so really we're seeing a country rising up against this president which could could see see the scenes that we saw last year during january february president morsi and has responded to these reactions from the opposition forces by saying that this decree would actually just be temporary and he's actually agreed to meet the judiciary who are holding a possible strike however many see this to be not really enough of a measure to clean he's actually called protests tomorrow his organization and his mother that and many people believe this will actually result in further violence in the streets and brotherhood supporters neat really people are asking for mostly to back down this is declaration the constitution that gratian which is really too strong to simply just say that is temporary people want this to actually and and they want him to show signs of really big democratic president rather than authoritarian dictator as he's proving to be when i say talk to u.k. based journalist to write to neil clark who believes president morsi will have to
12:04 pm
address many more issues than just his controversial decree. i think more she's made a big mistake he may have thought that basically people were mubarak and barak's gone and therefore he had a bit of leeway but no the underlying problems that corruption that approached with the policies of mubarak out you know that people want to cling great with these policies they wanted radical change not cosmetic change not merely a change of leader at the top carrying on with the same economic policies the same social policies etc they wanted a real radical change they're not getting that and so it's really at a at a crucial stage now where he's got to listen to the people to actually change course he's not going to be easy but i think they were tentative would be you know these demonstrations are only going to get worse and worse from his point of view morsi did say did claim that the extension of his powers were just temporary can he be trusted not at all because the egyptians have heard it before that had a lot of temporary however they got down the years way governments have said they do this on a temporary basis and it's ended up lasting
12:05 pm
a very long time and the mubarak would say that's so i think there is that sort of fear among egyptians that what they're getting is a new pharaoh as i said they want they wanted more democracy back in twenty eleven but they also wanted fundamental economic changes which haven't come about because there are widespread concerns of the public about what morsi has done the last few days that's not what the people in the hundreds of thousands took to the streets when twenty eleven was have a new dictator but the underlying cause i think are economic factors and the fact is people voted for morsi because they thought he'd bring changes it but the economy has got worse one in four young egyptians are out of work poverty is on the rise so i think there is this one issue this constitutional crisis at the moment but beyond that there are deeper issues and you have to be addressed. pro independence parties have won a parliament create majority in spain's catalonia although the regions president who's pushing for a referendum on breaking away from central government actually lost seats and now has to build a coalition and the spanish prime minister has repeatedly warned that separatism is
12:06 pm
against the constitution or he's under farm reports from barcelona. the two biggest parties in the cattle and parliament are now separatist and i think that does send a very clear message to the spanish government people are unhappy at how the economy is being run in the stereotype measures they are now having to endure what smaller the unemployment rate here is like the national average people have demonstrated on the streets of barcelona against the cuts they've also turned out in four to deprive independents rally over one and a half million people turned out on the streets of barcelona for that back in september so the message is pretty clear and people do feel as though that they perhaps could do a better job of managing the economy themselves if they were that own independent state and the reason why perhaps they are safer straighted is that the economy in catalonia is actually very wealthy it's a strong as portugal was but the fact is they give far more in taxes to the central government than they actually get back in terms of investment from madrid in things like schools and hospitals so the overall feeling is that they believe that
12:07 pm
separatism could well be the way forward after mass will have to try and fulfil his prey election promise of holding a referendum on independence from spain as you mentioned he did not get an absolute majority so he will not be able to push this through straightaway but luckily for him the second biggest party that was voted in was also pro independence so the feeling is they will be able to negotiate and between them they will have enough power to push through this referendum but the biggest sticking point for this referendum is that it is against the spanish constitution some commentators are saying it could actually lead to the arrest of aftermath he tries to push it through the spanish prime minister matter and what jorge has also said that he would be desperate to keep hold of one of the country's wealthiest regions of the time when he's also trying to stave off a european bailout so there are many factors here which mean that a referendum is not necessarily going to happen straight away after mass has said
12:08 pm
he will try and push it through during his next fall. in office as you can see that means that it's we can't expect this sort of thing to happen straightaway but even if it did those who are against separatism and this quite a number of them do point out that if catalonia had to withdraw from spain it might also have to drop out of the european union and then reapply for membership and that's not something many catalans are happy about and so if it did prove to be the case who knows many catalans might prefer the status quo and a spokesperson for a group dedicated to helping separatist movements believes a sovereign nation could have a mutually beneficial relationship with the european union but have to put society to cast the brought to cast for our represent their parliament with this object if and is to start the institution of process for in the balance of cuts and only at which is a process those not all days in economic plan or do everybody may believe that
12:09 pm
actually the reason side of this what we want is the political thing that concerns which means the one to decide about the political and the social political policies like immigration education commerce story is chair existed etc etc where we have to understand that actually spain now all get all the spanish machinery out trying to fear campaign cancel and so we are european cities it's as now there's not such press of that that the group could be out of the european union stand a half million of people suddenly enough how that would be more difficult actually to manage to good order what is necessary to be out at it's not the consideration we don't believe we're going to be out of the european union like the scotland i'm not going to be outside european union just because we are exercising universal rights as you know us are going to start it's nation we'll talk about democracy here. he's cooped up in the ecuadorian embassy in london and wanted by governments
12:10 pm
in the west and now. has released a new book based on one of the episodes of his exclusive interview show for his demand for the freedom of cyberspace looks bound to cause a reaction is reports. you may be wondering what has been doing so who do remember say for no i own six months well now you can see for yourselves because he's been writing a book the text is largely based on the program he made an episode called the politics when he interviews his degree co-authors on a range of issues of bail and how to protect data copyrights in fulfilment this isn't politics drones the list goes on but the authors are quick to point out it contains new material too i thought was cool of the three. activists it's tourist on the google user who knows who your community. who you know what you're

researching potentially your sexual orientation your. more than your mother it's a cosy conversation filled with the full rights based sitting in comfortable chairs jeremys the woman even says he insisted on a bottle of whisky and some cigars to make the conversation flow more easily. that we have civilian wise we don't we don't see tanks coming into this baby especially when you're actually we most people don't see tanks or bugs. normally or even even down that road but now we take our lives and we put it all we put it all on facebook we communicate using we communicate using mobile phones which in our midst to the internet. and the military has control. of the episode airing was far from comfortable for the cypherpunks and it's not

machine for surveillance and control of the people or into a way of improving of selves and improving our societies with better democratic participation better access to culture and better sharing of knowledge between individuals much of people being monitored without their knowledge most people don't really know or don't really care that much about their personal data or their privacy because you realize the importance of personal data usually when you lose them but. moment of information that you give away to technical intermediaries of the internet such as google facebook is tremendous and what this aggregates of data will be used for in a few years is impossible to predict there are tools there are technologies to protect yourself against snooping against wiretapping of your communications
12:14 pm
those technologies are widespread but not used enough you have to learn to use it it's an effort and people should know more about those issues let's talk about the book a little bit the book says the world now has to decide whether the internet will free us all in slave us is a situation really that serious yes it is raining creasing number of counties you can see the internet being used to control the individuals to censor people access to communication you can see governments turning the internet into a tool of control and this is a very disturbing trend indeed so how do we fight that government control well first of all we fight it by information by spreading knowledge about technology by spreading knowledge about how or freedom. are attacked online whether they're attacked by governments or whether the attacks for commercial

12:16 pm
waves of corruption are rocking russia hundreds of millions of dollars vanished from apec building projects and russia's call not satellite project a real estate scandal has also led to the defense minister being fired note i said fire in russia we hear a lot about corruption scandals and the reaction is usually a firing or a forced resignation and maybe that would be ok another country but russia has big dreams in a big country that is big corruption spoiling all of those dreams a country can't survive with every infrastructural or scientific project is sucked dry from within whether the government is unwilling or unable to sternly punch these offenders is a huge topic by could tell you that if there is no real fear of punishment this will just keep going on for ever perhaps this time to put a big asterisk for high level corruption next to the moratorium on the death penalty but that's just my opinion.
12:17 pm

around russia we've got the future covered. party live here in moscow eurozone finance ministers and the i.m.f. have convened in brussels to the side the fate of greece's next bailout payment their two previous meetings fail to reach any agreement without the bailout cash greece is likely to default and be forced to leave the single currency bloc well for more on this let's now talk to patrick writer and executive director of the investment consultancy devi advisors so greece has met all the demands patrick yet no decision so far three meetings the last two weeks why the delay why the procrastination well i think the procrastination is because there's not actually total clarity on just what the terms were greece had to meet and ultimately lots of different well people in the whole agenda have been changing their mind on what they were going to accept from greece all along and through why did greece's try to
12:19 pm
meet lots of things but at the same point in time they've dragged their feet consistently so automatically what we have is a hodge podge of a meeting which is a hodgepodge of an entire europe fiasco going back two or three years the main issue is of course to prove the country's debt and interest payments are sustainable by twenty twenty is it realistic that things could achieve that oh look this is just the most ridiculous fiction of all time i mean right at the moment greece is on target even on the official doctor and frankly i don't believe up because i think it's far too conservative greece is on target by about twenty fourteen twenty fifteen to have a debt of one hundred ninety percent to g.d.p. basically that is just ridges sixty percent is reasonable one hundred percent is a lot one hundred twenty percent is probably unsustainable and what's the target number we're trying to reach here well actually the greek economy is going to be rescued by the i.m.f. or the e.u. if it reaches a hundred and twenty percent debt to g.d.p.
12:20 pm
ratio by twenty twenty four twenty twenty two thoughts actively. what we have here is old wonderful solution to the greek debt crisis is that after it more years of hellish suffering the greek people will have an unsustainable debt mind to and can those people in greece really sustain that for all that time the social implications here patrick i really don't think they can i mean look we can talk about the greek economy and the greek government to highlight its being but can you honestly reasonably expect your fellow human citizens to spend the next eight years under switching austerity they've already had social years there are all manner of terrible social problems with increased people can't buy medicines they can't afford to get the food that is completely and utterly disgusting to see on the european continent in twenty twelve a deep of course they can't see you know until twenty twenty that's what ultimately led to your real house a fundamental existential crisis and it's unsustainable are the greek people being
12:21 pm
sacrificed for the survival of the e.u. for example if no decision is made today wouldn't that be a disaster for the confidence in brussels and the eurozone as a whole they've got to be seen to be united on this and make a decision. but i think two things i mean first of all are the greek people being sacrificed yes very simple answer ultimately is the confidence of the e.u. not really i mean what we've got is a kind of kinetic energy of the european union level where they think that if they keep spinning and they keep talking and they keep telling a separate it's ok and ultimately people are wandering around a central square in brussels then everything's going to be absolutely fine and you know what it looks like it looks like a red square army demonstration in a by one nine hundred eighty five at that point in time nobody believed that the soviet communist empire could collapse but if you look at the numbers behind it it was unsustainable that's the mess the european union's in which is a tragedy because the european union has done a great many good things for society but ultimately the political elite the elite
12:22 pm
of civil servants of the e.u. are in lala and compared to their normal citizens and the poor greeks are suffering badly as a result you talked earlier about different views on the agenda it's ever happened indication that the i.m.f. and and some eurozone finance ministers really are going getting pretty fed up with greece and would rather cut them loose. i think there are a considerable number of people who would like to cut greece loose at this juncture a because it's probably the most humane thing to do but second of all because ultimately the greek government has simply field to do anything that it has really be supposed to do in terms of privatization and so on and many times it's an act of legislation but feel to follow through the taxation system in greece is broken all of these sorts of horrible things lead us to the fact that greece is governed in a third world fashion at the moment not in the first world fashion and that all to me is causing a huge amount of frustration with a great many e.u. finance ministers some of whom because they've got lots of money such as say
12:23 pm
germany at all and and so on some of them because they've actually taken their medicine the poor irish twenty thousand people on the streets of dublin at the weekend complaining about the austerity medicine they've had to take a nod they're hearing that the greeks are going to get all manner of concessions in order to be allowed to get through the next hurdle to get their next belied that it's not fair it's very unreasonable of a lot of people and that's leading a huge number of politicians to be increasingly fed up with the whole greek situation patrick you tell it as it is thank you very much indeed patrick young always good to hear from you live there on r.t. thank you. so either a poor education or not at all for one small but when community outside tourism that's because the hearts which serves as a school in a settlement is under threat of demolition since is considered an illegal structure reportedly reports locals believe there's more to this than a lack of building permits. it's the end of another school day but as these
12:24 pm
students scramble the difficult path home it's far from clear that i'll have a school to turn to tomorrow is all supreme court has decided not to demolish the building for now it's one of the ugliest petitions i've ever seen and there are so many ugly petitions against palestinians in the west bank the school is. made of those and. it's about half a kilometer underneath the very front. of. the illegal structure was built three years ago entirely from tires held together with mud in georgia is one of about one hundred pupils mostly girls who are taught here it could be the only chance she'll ever get an education other schools are too far away and inaccessible. we are a very poor school in winter it's very cold and in summer it's very hard we have no air conditioners or heating and our children often fall asleep because of the heat
12:25 pm
and dust who also have no use for them to play in and you have to carry all the equipment here by hand the john allen big one community has lived in this no man's land for sixty years they fled their traditional homelands in the negev desert during the one nine hundred forty eight war of independence but now israel which has occupied the area since one thousand nine hundred sixty seven wants them to move again. the settlers come with guns their main goal is to keep all the syria without palestinians so they can kill the dream of building a palestinian country aid hamas is a father of seven like other bedouin farmers most of the herding grounds for his goats and sheep have been swallowed up by nearby settlements the state has never given him and others a building permit and they makeshift homes have no running water sanitation or electricity and now their children could be left out in the cold first of all it's . policy probably against indication when you don't have an addicted to person you
12:26 pm
can easily manipulate the way they think so i think that's the focal point it's about demolishing about school or aiming their attack against the school the case has been back and forth in the courts a demolition order instigated by settlers is still valid and the community could be displaced at any time the settlers accuse the bad ones of building the school for political purposes a tactic they themselves often use but they'd nor the fact that if the school is closed down these students will inevitably drop out of education and become an even bigger burden on the state policy our teen outside east jerusalem. well but with more news when thirty five minutes from now in the meantime a recap of the week's top stories from the world of sport is coming your way after the break.
